So I came home from work to a nice surprise... my no sniveller in the mail!I layed it out, patiently waiting for it to loft up from its long trip in a small box, and that lasted... five minutes.First, poncho mode. The neck opening is very cool, the two closure strips are verticly oriented so as to not create a cold spot between baffles.Yeah it looks goofy as a poncho, no doubting that.Next, footbox mode, which leads to my first question:Cinching up the bottom, I am left with a whole with the material bunched up as much a possible, so how do people close the hole in the footbox?

I noticed something. The flyer that came with the quilt says my quilt is a No Sniveller with 2 inches of loft.

The Jacks 'R' Better web site I ordered from says:

"No Sniveller is a solid three season quilt, baffled to 1.9 inches and over stuffed to achieve 2.5 inches of loft."

BPL measured the loft at 2.25 - 2.5 in (Carol Crooker) but I think that was in 2005.

I'll have to measure it to see what the story is. It does look like it's closer to 2" than 2.5". That said, with a little shaking of the down I can see how the loft can be made to vary from under 2" to 2.5" (and perhaps more but not sure where the limit is given the way the quilt is sewn).
